        We have a TV with antenna and holy shit, broadcast TV has become a caricature of itself. several-minutes-long commercials and a lot of them are just outright scams with what you mentioned as well as weird supplements hawked by has-been conservative pundits, and Christian content publishing services that use AI backgrounds.
